l l AURORA, GODDESS OF THE DA WN As the Aurora Borealis has served the people of northern lands with light throughout the centuries, so has North Greenville Junior College served its students since 1892, signifying not only the importance of light and knowledge to the northern part of South Carolina but throughout the world. North Greenville has grown through the steps of academic, high school, and now junior college. Through these steps in growth, North Greenville has proved that she is a true Aurora and will continue to shed her light throughout the coming years. Set in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains is this northern light. With a Christian atmosphere, North Greenville draws its many students as if it were a giant magnet. On the crest of a hill rises the true center of this light which gives the picture of a growing surface to all who may visit its boundaries. This projec- tion of light in the upper portion of South Carolina has dispelled ignorance to an area where people at one time lived by the laws of nature. The rays of this north- ern light may be seen at any time by looking at those who have made it a part of their lives. We at North Greenville who are facing a future that is overshadowed with clouds of fear resulting from uncertainty, nuclear war, and communism feel that we can always look back to North Greenville and its many rays of knowledge and feel secure in our distinction be- tween right and wrong. In two short years we have learned to go into the world with a better academic, religious, and social outlook on life. These two years never end but continue as do the beautiful rays of the Aurora Borealis. Come with us now as Miss Aurora, Goddess of the Dawn, leads us through our school year of 1966 and its many spectacular, serious, and wonderful times.

SOCIAL PHASE Upon arriving at North Greenville this year, the Freshmen immediately found themselves in an atmosphere of warm friendship. The Student Government and Baptist Student Union Execu- tive Councils arrived at school early to plan events to help the new students adjust to campus life. During the orientation period all Freshmen attended parties and singspirations, toured the campus, and enjoyed general fellowship. Through these various activities the new stu- dents became better acquainted with the cam- pus and with one another. During the year every student has been able to enjoy fellowship with others through a broad range of campus functions. This year students have enjoyed a greater social life through the use of a new student center with such facilities as the canteen, two game rooms, a conference room, and a study lounge. The social life has been projected each day also as the students attend classes. Before and after classes the congested halls, the crowded canteen, and the many students who are plan- ning programs suggest that each student is seek- ing an understanding of his fellow students. ' S
